says he makes more off skulls than hides

That makes sense. I’ve starting just going back to the mortality pile and I pull the canine teeth and give them to boys at the kiddie birthday parties we go to.

It just occurred to me that my coyote catch last night was on the dirt hole with real food stuffed down the hole.

Coincidence?

The coyote from last night hit a set with the half of a Hispid Cotton Rat down the hole and a stick with a smear of that long calling skunky lure on it stuck in the ground just over the hole.

Yeah, we are starting from scratch on that department so I put him in the freezer whole to pass the buck until we can research the next steps.

A week or so ago I mentioned to my wife I wanted to drop the foxes and coyotes and that beaver from the 223 thread off at the taxidermist to skin and tan but my 6 year old interrupted and said "daddy...we'll do it ourselves".

You need advise anywhere along in the process shot me your number in a pm, happy to help, easier than you think. Keep a couple opossum furs to do your first run and and work the bugs out.
